I can't find any reference #'s (Haxby or otherwise) for this obsolete bank note from Brewer Maine. Any help would be appreciated. I would like to attribute it properly if I could.

    Thanks so much! All I ever found was the ME 210 G14 for this note

    This is a big help. Thank you again!

    I presume that it's the sower vignette that is of interest on the Agricultural Bank $10.

    Are you familiar with the Johnny Appleseed vignette on this one?

    Sellitstore - I did not know that was Johnny Appleseed on that. My Lee book just described the vignette as 'A man with his dog'.

    Haxby identifies this vignette as Johnny Appleseed and the Heritage cataloger used the same identification. It may be in one of Roger Durand's books on vignettes and Roger's identifications are well researched.

    He is carrying a (wooden?) container of some sort but does not appear to be sowing seeds.

    I looked in my Durand books 'Interesting Notes about History', and 'about Vignettes', and both do indeed mention this specific note: But in both cases, it is only the 'Washington at Dorchester Heights' at the left that is discussed, there are no comments on the vignette at the right. I do not have Haxby to check.
